Alison Balsom, trumpet
& the Scottish Ensemble

Saturday, April 20, 2013, 8:00 pm
Hill Auditorium

Firmly established as one of the world's leading trumpeters, Alison Balsom
makes her UMS debut with an evening of supremely beautiful music. Born in
1978, Balsom was recently crowned "Female Artist of the Year" at the Classical
BRITS for the second time. She is joined by the Scottish Ensemble, the UK's only
professional string orchestra and one that brings an energy and passion to every
performance.

For the second half of this concert, Alison Balsom will perform on a natural
trumpet. Natural trumpets are valveless, meaning that the player essentially
creates each note off of various overtones obtained through the tightness or
looseness of lip pressure. Hearing a live performance of this early instrument
is a rare treat and one only the most highly skilled musicians can deliver.
